God Bless You and Stay Safe

May 9, 2021
A message from our Pastor...

We are slowly returning to our daily and weekly pre COVID activities.  That is good news.  We will do this safely by taking to heart the recommendations and guidelines of our health officials and the assistance of the Bishop’s office.  In the par ishes of St. Ambrose and St. James I have asked that ministers serving in the sacred liturgy – Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Altar Servers and Ushers – consider returning to full

participation on Pentecost Sunday Weekend.  Does that mean that we will have everyone returning?  Probably not!  But I encourage all who can to join us.  I want everyone to stay safe and keep proper 3 foot social distancing, wearing of a face mask while indoors for large gatherings, use of the hand

sanitizing dispensers at the vestibule of the church and

avoiding all unnecessary crowding at the church entrances.  We need to return to our communal worship of the Lord God who is the source of all blessing.  I like the way John Newton in the 19^th century expressed this need to come to our communal worship:

“Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,

Waiting in his courts today:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.”

May this Pentecost Sunday find our communities expectantly waiting the Lord God to renew the earth with the love, peace and joy of His Holy Spirit!
